AudioTag review
A free web and API service for identifying songs from files, links, and short clips.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AudioTag is a web-based music and audio recognition service for people who want to identify songs from uploaded files, direct links to online videos, or short audio fragments. It returns track details such as title, artist, and album, and supports common audio and video formats. AudioTag can also recognize multiple songs within one recording and show time intervals for each result. Its browser-first format suits individual web users, while the API extends the service to automated recognition workflows.
The published offering includes free non-commercial use. Commercial and API usage may involve prepaid credit points, making the service relevant to developers and businesses as well as casual users. The API is the main route for integrating recognition into another workflow, while the web experience focuses on file uploads and direct media links. YouTube, Coub, and YouTu.be are supported link sources, and the service also includes online music-video playback, music discovery, and recently added music browsing.
AudioTag’s main strength is focused recognition across several input types, including short clips and recordings containing multiple songs. That makes it a practical fit for web-based identification and automated processing. The trade-off is a narrower ecosystem than services with offline recognition, verified history, or broader integrations. Choose AudioTag if browser access, uploads, links, or API recognition match your workflow. Consider another option if offline use, persistent recognition history, or wider platform support is central to your requirements.
